Around 100 investors gathered at the latest Acuitus/MSCI Investment seminar to hear about the market outlook as we head into the final quarter of the year.

MSCI’s Luke Pakes gave insights into the attitude of institutions to commercial property and highlighted their recent concerted buying of industrial assets.

Stuart Buchanan of Acuitus Finance talked about how the ‘ring-fencing’ of clearing banks was impacting property lending and giving opportunities to the new ‘challenger’ banks in the sector while Acuitus Chairman, Richard Auterac, analysed recent auctions activity and suggested what it meant for the Q4 round of sales.
